Information for Artists and Filmmakers

Chasing Coral

A free, public screening and discussion of the Netflix documentary film Chasing Coral—winner of a 2017 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award—will take place on Sunday, November 17, from noon to 2:30 p.m. at the Monona Terrace Convention Center's Lecture Hall in Madison, Wisconsin.

The film shows how coral reefs are dying on a massive scale due to climate change and hopes to serve as a wake-up call to audiences that action is needed now to address environmental issues.

Chasing Coral also won a Peabody Award in 2017 and an Emmy for Outstanding Nature Documentary in 2018.
